CPDP is one of the world¹s leading conferences in the domain of data
protection and privacy. Every year over 500 scholars and policy makers from
all over the world meet in Brussels to discuss data protection and privacy
issues. The mix of diverse stakeholders ­ regulators, lawyers, service
operators, technologists, sociologists and philosophers meeting at the
conference create a unique sphere for reforming data protection and for
advancing research in the domain.
Against the background of this diverse audience, each year the conference
awards the ³CPDP multi-disciplinary privacy research award² to one paper
that has been written by an interdisciplinary team of researchers.. The
spirit of the award is to promote the need for and reward the results of
multidisciplinary work, which advances new ideas in the field by embracing
the competence of diverse constituencies.
